He has to kill her she brings up too many feeling for him long dead I almost wished she did see him there and the pain in his eyes there might have been understanding then. But then again I would not want it any other way

Please please please please pease please please bring on the next chapters lol lol lol sure sure as a reader I dont know all the work involved I just want the pages~

Author's Response: My thoughts exactly, Cryns. It's awsome to hear that it came across in the writing. The new chapter is finished ... I just have to double check it and send it to beta. But it won't be long at all. I hope you enjoy it, when it's posted. Thanks for the review. :-)

Humm on the pain in his stomach he has to notice the way she speaks is just like his Elizabeth. He loved her kookie american speak I wonder how he will handle this or for that matter her impression of him for the next few years. I went and read this wole thing all over again and it still is a story that brings butterflys to the stomach and then gut wrenching heatbreak and pain definately a story not to put down.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE HE FOUND HER AND THAT HE WANTS TO KILL HER, SHE IS HIS ELIZABETH!!! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. im sorry about part 2 responses not being as enthusiastic as u wanted them to be, i tried and i understand how it was needed, but im just glad that their back together(in the their in the same city and he has finally seen the real buffy sense). i did love part 2, it ws written extremely well and how u developed it was amazing but i cant help but be extremely happy about it being over becuz ive been anticipating this part since the end of part 1. ne ways im so glad that hes seen her and i wonder if shes going to know him of if its going to follow the same time line and shes going to know him in the same time she went. i hope that she knows its william and that spike dosnt kill her and they get together. also i hope that everything works out well and that they end up happy and together. PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING to read the next chapter. THAX SOO MUCH

Author's Response: lol. Your reactions are always so passionate, they're awsome to read. Just remember that although she *is* Elizabeth, over a century has passed since he has actually lain eyes on her, and that he has spent that time feeling certain that she is dead. So, he isn't willing to believe that she's the same person. I know that some sections of Part II were hard to read, but I really appreciate your sticking by the story even so, and for continuing to review it. I hope you enjoy Part III. :)

The intensity of Spike's loathing came through in waves, though I'm still left pitying his loss. This Spike seems even more ready to take Buffy down, just for existing with his lost love's face. The fact that she lives long enough to meet William isn't lost on me, but I'm sure their confrontations until she disappears are going to be ferocious.

This section of the story never flagged. It was vivid and gave me fresh insight into this cast of characters. I'm really looking forward to your take on the Scoobies, and I wonder if Angel has come to Sunnydale to assist the slayer. I'm sure that would enrage Spike all the more. Thanks for the attention to detail in this emotionally gripping tale. I loved every minute of it.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you are still enjoying it. I hope I can live up to those standards in the future. Thank you, as always, for the feedback. :-)

I think you did touch on something important here that so many people pass up and that is in killing that slayer in China it did change him completely and you tie it in so well in the opening of this. Even his dress style changed completely to a uniformed killer look. With the years passing he has created a whole new self and then in just a flash of a couple of moments and some girl in a club looking like his love in a previous life how instantly it takes him all back. Of course there is going to be a instant hate and the need to kill her off for the simple reason of all the memories and pain she brings up for him. This is always a juicy read for me part III with be monumental and I for one can't wait.

Well...well..well... all I can say is hold on to your hats readers its gonna be a bumpy ride!
As always I just love what you do with your story and how much real emotions you put into it I for one am in for the long haul on this and really look forward to reading each time they go into battle knowing how Spike hates her on site and the pain he goes through just seeing her. From following the show we know Spike learns to respect her as a fighter so it will be a cool mix to see how that plays into him loving his Elizabeth anf this slayer girl daring to look like her or even to be living.

Simply Fantastic

Sorry I have been a slacker in leaving reviews but I did love the Spike storyline I'm sure a lot of readers love the romance parts the best but its good to know all the makings of the man before he gets back to finding his love I think for in the years that passed he became who we all love as our favorite monster today.

^^^ Experience had made him cynical; disappointment had made him suspicious. The blue eyes that had once been so open, so willing to bleed out his every emotion for Elizabeth to see, were closed. Hard. Full of wry amusement.

I'm sorry to see part II end but I really cant wait to see where you go in part III. Will be interesting to see how Angel and Spike interact now and Spike knowing of his soul and then finding out about his relationship with the new Slayer and how much she looks like his Elizabeth. Cause knowing Spike and how he felt about Elizabeth even if he hates Buffy for just being like her this* dating of Angel will not sit well at all with him. It's gonna be fun seeing what you do with this.

Author's Response: In a way, I was sorry to see Part II end, too. I really enjoyed exploring the early days of Spike. But the plot was heading in that direction all along, and I didn't want to try to force more chapters when they weren't planned and might not fit. Still, it's so great to hear that you enjoyed Part II that much and are looking forward to Part III. I hope I don't disappoint you! :)

This is a massive jump but I have to say my heart ached for him with how you ended this chapter. Hearing her voice left him in a shattered state of venerability leaving him standing there with his heart on his sleeve no wonder he had the instant choice that she had to die it was to impossibly painful to let her live. I think I always enjoy the most about your Spike is that you always write him so human you make the reader want to put a arm around him and take care of him. Hope to see more soon.

Author's Response: Thank you! I know while watching the series, there were many times I wanted to give Spike a good cuddle, So, if my readers feel the same way about my characterization of him, I feel I must be on the right track. ;)

OMG, OMG, OMG. And the finally meet again.!!!!!!!!!

Of course she doesn´t know who he is, because she would be to young at that time, and he.... Well it´s logical that he thinks, she must be a relative or someone descendant from Elisabeth´s family....

By the way, I loved the way you described him getting angry thinking about somebody from Elisabeths family having children, while she lay rotting in some unknown pit...

If I´m not mistaking she travels back in time around canons season 5 right(?). So she wouldn´t know who he really is until she comes back from her time traveling around this time. ( season 5) Right?

Meanwhile it´s up to Spike to try to kill the "bitch" that has the "nerve" to look like his beloved. (he, he). And now for the big question. Is he going to find out before that who she really is or is he going to find out when she comes back....?

Can´t wait to see what happens next.!!!!!!!!

In other things.... relating to part 2 of this story. I agree with many of the other reviewers that part two of the story was great, very important to the plot, and the best description of how William became Spike that I have ever read, but in my case, the long time between updates, ones it was almost a month, made me panic, thinking that you might not continue, and then, counting of the time that would pass until you started part 3... Really I had stomachache each time after I had finished a chapter, not knowing when next would come, reason why i stopped reading the chapters until I had 3 or 4.
Unfortunately there are many great unfinished ff out there.... So I,m very sorry for the lack of faith, and the lack patience, because I really understand your reasons and wish to write part two, and if this had been a finished story that I was reading I wouldn´t have minded to read ten more chapters of part two.

But, anyway keep the good job. I´ve said it before you are a truly great and gifted writer. Can´t wait to see how their interaction is going to be.

Author's Response: You're right - she travels back in time just after the episode "Forever". So, Spike already messed up with her during "Crush" and hasn't been able to redeem himself as he did in "Intervention." It's great to know that you enjoyed Part II and are looking forward to Part III. Thank you so much for the encouragement. :)

I really really loved it. Poor Spike. I guess Buffy wouldn't exactly look the same because she didn't get sent back for a few more years. I really can't wait for them to meet again...with Buffy with the memories.

Awesome job. Keep up the great work. I can't wait for the next chapter ^^

Oh. She's back.

After all I said about sodding Buffy returning in my last review, she's back the next chapter, lol.

Perhaps I will be one of the few to be disappointed that Part II has ended. I was looking forward to seeing your seemingly effortless descriptions of William's mindset during his transformation (what his thought process was when he first dyed his hair; what his emotional state was when Dru was nearly killed by the Czechs, etc.).

But I trust your judgment on when to begin and end parts implicitly.

I fear for the happiness of all those who want the instant gratification of Buffy and Spike back together, for the Buffy that knows William is still years in the future. He wants this Buffy dead. And he will probably want her more dead (if possible) when he finds that Angel, of all people, dares to be with the Slayer who resembles Elizabeth, especially when Angel deflowers her and loses his soul.

Hold on kids, it's about to get (more) interesting.

Can't wait. :)

Author's Response: ROFL - you know the moment I read your review of Chapter 39, I was writing the opening scene for Chapter 40, and I was like ... uh oh, is this bad karma? I would have loved to continue the exploration of Spike's early life, but the plot has always been heading in this direction. Still, it's great to know that you're looking forward to Part III. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
